It started in Iran.
And then the bloody Russians,
Invade Afghanistan.
HEY!
Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping UDT's come a creeping
They came to find their leader,
They found him in the rear.
His eyes were full of wonder,
His eyes was full of fear.
HEY!
Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping UDT's come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY
They came to find their wounded,
They came to claim their dead.
They hear the choppers commin,
They're hummin overhead.
HEY!
Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping UDT's come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY
They came to find their wounded,
They claim their dead.
They hear the choppers commin,
They're hummin overhead.
HEY
Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping Navy Seals come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY
We went to find their leader,
We found him in his bed.
And when we rolled him over,
They found out he was dead.
HEY
Men at war-oooooor
Men at war-oooooor
Late at night when your sleeping UDT's come a creeping
All around-ooooound, A creeping all around, HEY
The U.S. Navy Seals' Men At War is a military anthem that celebrates the bravery and courage of American soldiers who risk their lives to protect their country. The song speaks of various military operations in the Middle East, such as the Iranian hostage crisis and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The song begins by describing a hostage situation that began in Iran and then goes on to describe the Russian invasion of Afghanistan. Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the valor of the U.S Navy Seals, who creep upon enemies at night while they're sleeping, emphasizing their stealth and efficiency.
The chorus, "Men at war," is a poignant reminder that war is not just about tactics and strategies. Instead, it's about the sacrifice that soldiers make to protect their nation's freedom. The second verse centers on a military operation that these navy seals undertake to find their wounded and claim their dead. The seals embrace a call of duty that extends beyond winning battles, but instead, they demonstrate a deep sense of care towards their fallen comrades.
Finally, the song concludes with an image of the navy seals finding their leader and rolling him over to reveal that he was dead. It's a powerful reminder to the listener of the price of freedom and the ultimate sacrifice that these soldiers make.
